...Alteration: My new favorite way to keep original hem on jeans December 17, 2011 // 117 I am short. There is no other way to put it. I’m barely 5′ tall. I think I’ve only bought two pairs of used jeans in my life that were already hemmed to my length…ever…in my life! My mom always hemmed my pants, even as I got older. Then, I started taking them in to a shop for alterations to keep the original hem which cost me $20/pair. I love how the original hem looks so I paid it. Well, recently I’ve tried a few different techniques and I’ve found one I really like. This is the tutorial I followed How to hem jeans I started with a pair of new (used) jeans that fit great everywhere but in length. I measured and pinned the jeans to the length I wanted them. I needed to take off 4″ from the hem so I measured just over 2″ and pinned, measuring before pinning each time. Do not include the original hem when measuring. You’ll need to decide how much you want to take off then divide it in half and pin all the way around. Now, sew very closely to the original hem, sewing to the right side of the hem. I reinforced this stitch and sewed around the hem twice because I wear jeans every day and need them durable. Next, I cut off the excess. You can choose to keep it, especially if you’re hemming children’s jeans who may later need the length. I haven’t grown since 7th grade so I opted to cut off the excess material. . After, I ironed the hem to help it lay smoothly. And now i have a...

...The United states constitution overcame the weakness of the Articles of Confederation and provided for the organization of the new government. In the 1700’s, in the thirteen original colonies, the Americans won the Revolutionary war, and they decided they needed a government. The Articles of Confederation is what the continental congress made a plan for as a whole. The constitutional convention was ran by the legislature which caused the great compromises. The constitution was written by delegates and each state had to hold a convention to approve of the constitution but not everyone agreed about the constitution and that it should be ratified. In the late 1700’s the thirteen original colonies needed a government so they came up with the articles...

... of an author in your own words. It keeps the essential information from the original passage while eliminating most supporting details, such as the examples and illustrations. A good summary makes the author's ideas clear, perhaps even clearer than in the original. What is the difference between an abridgement, a paraphrase, and a summary? An abridgement is a shortened form of a work that to a great extent keeps the language of the original. Although an editor has made decisions about which words or passages to delete, the article or book is presented as the work of the original author. A paraphrase differs from an abridgement in that it is written in language different from the original. It follows the order of the original text and, unlike a summary, it recasts everything, not just the main ideas. It may be shorter than the original, but it could be longer. A summary is generally much shorter than the original text. It includes only key ideas and...

...funds for this development. Since intellectual capital is the key for competitive advantage and profitability, in a free market economy, competitors try to appropriate it for their own. Thus a firm might lose its intellectual property to its competitors; this could happen in three ways (Narayanan, 2000): Imitation: It is the serious threat to any competitive advantage. If the imitators were faced by the high cost of the imitation or a legal notice they cannot benefit from the innovators idea. Obsolescence: competitors can engage in innovation and they enhance the innovation into a product more superior to the original product. Infringement: competitors sometimes steal the original idea from other firm’s knowledge. Hitachi and Mitsubishi stole technological secrets from IBM. With these issues the firms need to protect their intellectual property in order to keep the advantage and survive in the market of competition. This could happen in several ways: A firm may take several actions in order to protect their innovations and the power of their products. They may invest in advertising, or develop arrangements with licensing; sometimes they shut down the distribution channels to cut the way on those imitators. Another way the firms may take to...

...The original case of George Spinner (represented by Housing and Urban Development (HUD)) vs. Reno Housing Authority centered on Mr. Spinner alleging that the Reno Housing Authority had not properly accommodated his handicap and had disallowed a deduction from his expected rent contribution. This specific deduction was a “medical” allowance that allowed Mr. Spinner to eat at a local restaurant for one of his meals per day. Mr. Spinner has a severe case of Tourette’s syndrome, and also has a patch over one eye. Medical professionals have stated that Mr. Spinner cannot safely prepare food over an open flame at home, and clearly an electric stovetop would also be dangerous to Mr. Spinner. It is also impossible for Mr. Spinner to keep his apartment clean and organized, so a cleaning crew cleans his apartment once a day. The key issue was that Mr. Spinner wanted to continue getting an allowance to keep eating at a restaurant one per day in the evening, so he could eat hot meals at night. This had been the arrangement when he lived in Tucson. Mr. Spinner had asked for a review of his expected rent contribution. He believed he was having trouble making ends meet, and he wanted more discretionary funds so he could eat at a restaurant in the evenings. Reno Housing Authority responded by increasing his expected contribution to rent (hence reducing his disposable income), but they offered to have a live-in assistant cook hot meals for him instead. Mr. Spinner didn’t want someone living...

...As society grows and evolves, so does entertainment. All forms of entertainment must change to continue to keep the attention of the public, and horror movies are no exception. In today’s world of remakes and sequels, it is hit or miss when it comes to doing the original film justice. Critics as numerous as they are harsh, so taking on a remake is no easy feat. When looking at the 1978 cult classic Dawn of the Dead and its 2004 remake, there are obvious differences and similarities. The original uses dark humor and wit to entertain audiences, while the remake uses more gore and violence, but both share a similar premise. While the original will always be a classic, but the remake puts a fresh spin on it to draw in younger audiences. The original Dawn of the Dead was first released in Italy in 1978 and then in the United States in 1979, grossing approximately $55 million worldwide up against a $1.5 million budget (The Numbers). The film, directed by George A. Romero, was quickly hailed a classic and one of the best zombie films of the century. The film follows group of survivors who are fleeing Philadelphia, which has been overrun by the reanimated much like the rest of the country’s major cities. The group commandeer a helicopter and eventually seek refuge in a large mall, where they reside for several months....

...These new inclusions not only differ to Wallace’s views in the speech, but are contradictory to them on various levels. One of the most egregious examples is after Wallace talks about the awareness of one’s self along with different ways of thinking, Little, Brown and Company add “It is about making it to thirty, or maybe even fifty, without wanting to shoot yourself in the head” (Little Brown 130). Through adding this, Little, Brown and Company keeps the pain and frustration of day to day life the center of attention to the reader. By shifting the focus on the reader and their lives, it keeps them the focal point of the topic and enforces humanities natural perspective of being the center of the universe. This self-centeredness is what Wallace wants people to avoid doing. Wallace wanted people to think and see through a lens separate from their self in order to see things from a different perspective. However, due to Little, Brown Company’s addition, that notion has been offset and...

...basically keeping all records pertaining to the case, or until the case is over. Depending on the records at hand, state and federal laws require organizations to maintain records. During litigation hold notice a good checklist to follow, is a good idea. A document retention policy basically establishes a policy that keeps records of documents and files for a certain amount of period, so that a court can examine a business practices over a time period. Courts and juries don’t have little tolerance for organizations that don’t maintain their records. They often give penalized corporations for keeping their records, by handing out big fines. A document retention policy is established after a litigation hold is given to an organization. Depending on the litigation hold certain documents must be maintain in order to prevent penalties. So if the litigation hold is pertaining to a HIPPA violation at a college, the college must maintain all records to include, emails, documents, faculty involvements, telephone conversations, backup tapes, hard drives, flash drives and etc. The policy has to be clear and understanding to faculty. The files must be in preserved in original format, and cannot be altered at any time. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was passed through the senate and the house in response to the scandals of Enron and World Com. In The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 this is where the document retention policy directly falls on. Almost all documents are created on computers, and...

...PROBLEM STATEMENT The Bradley fighting vehicle is a classic example of how much a project could deviate from its original objective. The project, at the end, had significantly deviated on all the 3 major constraints of a project – Time, cost & Performance. On looking at a level deeper, we find the following to be the major causes: * Constant requirement change * No proper scope documentation and objective focus * Excessive Project sponsors authority and power ACTIONS * Clear documentation of the project scope definition including and defining the parameters such as Technical requirements, Deliverables, Milestones, Limits & exclusions etc. * Once the project scope is finalized, it is critical to establish priorities in terms of the critical technical requirement of the project. In this project, the original specification was that it should be able to carry 11 people, be fast and should have steel body as armour * The trade-offs among time, cost and performance in order to identify what parameters needs to be amended, enhanced or constrained in order to keep a check on the constantly changing requirements * Reporting the project progress to the sponsors in terms of impact of the changing requirements on the schedule, cost and scope. * As the armed forces is a strict hierarchical setup, its important to always keep the discussions objective and tied to the final project objective rather than making it seem like personal interest TOOLS...

...been reviewing the marketing data of Scope for the last few years and found that though Scope held a 32 percent share and kept the leader position of the Canadian mouthwash market for 1990, comparing to the previous data it revealed a decline tendency(Appendix I). In addition, Plax, a prebrushing rinse, had gained a 10 percent share of the product category and posed a threat to Scope. Faced with the inroads from Plax, the business team of Scope put forward their suggestions on the marketing plan. Now I will lay out our recommendations on what differentiating attribute should be focused on and all the rationale behind them to compete with other brands in Canadian mouthwash market. Great-tasting and mouth-refreshing. For original Scope, I suggest that we keep focusing on “breathe refreshment and good tasting”. There are three main reasons. First, 40 percent of customers choose “it gets rid of bad breath” as their reason for using mouthwash, and Scope got a higher score in attribute of reducing bad breath comparing to other brands especially to Plax (Appendix II). On the other hand, though we can make a marketing improvement to add plaque-reduction claim to the future commercials, this may confuse current customers of Scope and that will be a huge strategic shift for the brand. On the other hand, since Plax had achieved a strong image on the “removes plaque/healthier teeth and gums” as a pre-brushing rinse product, for the long-term market plan I think we should take line extension...
